The 2.5 and 2.6 are identical performance, and the 3.0 and 3.2 the same.

GM quote 3.0l auto 0-60 is 8.5, 149mph.  I can't vouch the latter, but the former is conservation by 1.2s going by my 3.0l

Manual Omegas are quoted as being 0.5s quicker on GM figures.

I've driven a 2.2 auto that went like the clappers - speed straight up to 90mph, and stayed there.  It was the Pikey Pensioner's old one. By far the best 2.2 auto (or manual) I think I'd driven.

Never did get to own a 3.2 sadly, however I had two 3.0's, and they're one of the best engines I've come across  :y :y
